Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester or OBD II scan tool. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air/fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

1. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER OR OBD II SCAN TOOL (MASS AIR FLOW RATE) 
   1. Connect an intelligent tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
   2. Start the engine.
   3. Turn the tester or scan tool ON.
   4. On the tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / MAR
   5. Read the values displayed on the tester.
   6. If using an OBD II scan tool, refer to the instruction manual.

      Result 

      DTC RESULT DESCRIPTION
      
      

      Mass Air Flow Rate (g/sec)	Proceed to
      0.0	A
      271.0 or more	B
      Between 1.0 and 270.0 ((1))	C
      (1) The value must be changed when the throttle valve is open or closed.

   B: Go to step  6

   C: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS 

   A: Go to Next Step 

2. INSPECT MASS AIR FLOW METER (POWER SOURCE VOLTAGE) 
   1. Disconnect the M1 Mass Air Flow (MAF) meter connector.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   3. Measure the voltage between the terminal of the wire harness side connector and body ground.

   NG: Go to step  5

   OK : Go to Next Step 

3. INSPECT ECM (VG VOLTAGE) 
   1. Start the engine.
   2. Measure the voltage between the terminals of the E3 ECM connector.

      HINT:

      The transmission gear selector lever should be in the P or N position and the A/C switch should be turned OFF.
